you're missing next-hop-self in the below config, you need to add it to all your 
ibgp sessions on all routers

its also mentioned you may be missing no sync altho its not clear if you just 
omitted that

what does the output from 'sh ip bgp x.x.x.x' look like for one of the prefixes? 
copy that along with a sh ip route y.y.y.y where y.y.y.y is the next-hop given 
by the sh ip bgp command above
